Seymour Duncan

I looking at (maybe) getting a Warmoth Gecko 5-string bass body. The suggested pickups on Warmoths web site are Seymour Duncan ABS-5.

Are these pickups active? The bass they show has the SD pups but no onboard preamp. Is that correct? If so that would be ideal for me because I rarely use the preamp on my bass but I do want the clarity of an active system.

there are also schematics for the setup you want to run on the "Backstage" portion of the SD site. I put the ASB-5's plus the preamp in my bass and never looked back. They will definitely clean up and expand the range of sounds you can get from the bass.Cheers
